$100\%\ increased\ by\ 45\%=100\%+45\%=145\%\\\\method\ \#1\\\\p\%=\frac{p}{100}\to145\%=\frac{145}{100}=\frac{145:5}{100:5}=\frac{29}{20}\\\\145\%\ of\ 140=\frac{29}{20}\cdot140=29\cdot7=\boxed{203\ (ounces)}\leftarrow answer$


$method\ \#2\\\\\begin{array}{ccc}140&-&100\%\\x&-&145\%\end{array}\ \ \ cross\ multiply\\\\\\100\cdot x=140\cdot145\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 100\\\\x=\frac{140\cdot145}{100}\\\\\boxed{x=203\ (ounces)}$
